Model Ordinances for Ensuring Fire Resistance

Essential resources to help local entities adopt stronger codes that prioritize the use of fire-resistant, non-combustible materials and technologies for safer, more resilient communities. 


The homes and buildings in your community are far more precious than just their market value. One way of keeping these structures as safe as possible for occupants and everything in them is to adopt building codes that prevent the use of flammable construction materials. These resources provide the pathway for local communities to adopt a more robust and resilient code.
